More quotes by Zhang Ziyi
China's cinema has been rising for some time it has more exposure, so my chances of becoming internationally known are better. But the first thing I have to do is learn English. If I can grasp the language, then perhaps I can think about the U.S.
Zhang Ziyi
I suspect people always thought I had a boyfriend, so nobody came after me.
Zhang Ziyi
There's nothing in Chinese culture that is an equivalent of the geisha. It's so different, so special to Japan.
Zhang Ziyi
I was really interested in geishas' work, and wanted to meet real geishas.
Zhang Ziyi
Absolutely not, because in acting I've found a domain that suits me perfectly. And that is so utterly rare.
Zhang Ziyi
I've discovered that I value simplicity above all in dressing. I don't like anything I wear to be too complicated or fussy.
Zhang Ziyi
I always think it's really hard if you are Asian or Chinese to be really in Hollywood. There are not so many really great characters for you.
Zhang Ziyi
There are films you see that only reach your eyes. Then there are films that you can watch... that reach down to your throat, or reach your heart. In the Mood for Love, though, reached all the way to my belly.
Zhang Ziyi
Zhang Yimou is always going to need young, pretty girls for his films. But I don't really concern myself with what Zhang Yimou's next starlet looks like.
Zhang Ziyi
After I learn more English, I'll work hard and make more films.
Zhang Ziyi
I wanted to become a kindergarten teacher like my mother.
Zhang Ziyi
Ordinarily if an actor gets chosen for the lead in a film, he or she has already built up a repertoire, and everyone knows what he or she is capable of.
Zhang Ziyi
Today's China is not in the least shut out from the rest of the world. Trends come to us from all over the world. And the Internet is really developed in China. We get news from all over the world.
Zhang Ziyi
Most people spend their whole lives looking for the right job. There are others who never get an opportunity to do work that fulfils them.
Zhang Ziyi
I want, through my roles, to express the parts in the hearts of Chinese women that they feel unable to let out.
Zhang Ziyi
It's not that I wanted to be an actor it's that I didn't want to be a dancer! I was trained in traditional Chinese dance, and after working so hard it seemed unfair to just disappear into a group.
Zhang Ziyi
I knew nothing about martial arts. And I don't really like it! But in the film, I not only had to pretend that I knew all about it, I had to be the best at it. That was very difficult.
Zhang Ziyi
I don't care if you love me or not. I'll love you anyway.
Zhang Ziyi
Working in Hollywood, it's clear the more money you have, the more technology you can get. So you can build a whole Japanese set. Only in Hollywood!
Zhang Ziyi
Yes. Otherwise I could have done a lot of Hollywood movies. After Crouching Tiger I got a lot of offers, but I turned them down because they were all victim roles - poor girls sold to America to be a wife or whatever. I know I have the ability to go deeper, to take on more original roles than that.
